Quotes 

• Lilo Lil : Look, we're both women. We have handbags, and ovaries. We're as devious and clever as a gifted monkey, and here we are fighting over a little man with a yellow cart.

  Nellie Boswell : Is that how you see him?

  Lilo Lil : No. I thought that's how you might see him.

• Joey Boswell : [Nellie is on the phone]  Who are you on to?

  Nellie Boswell : The electricity department. £145, they want. They must think we grow our own money. We haven't got it, I said, and that's that. We're all unemployed here.

  Joey Boswell : [opening post]  Ah, it's my gold American Express card.

  Nellie Boswell : Not as nice as the Barclay one, is it?

• Nellie Boswell : I know how to solve the problem and get peace. I'll kill the pair of them!

• Nellie Boswell : For what we are about to receive, may the Lord help us to pay for.

• Father Dooley : Has he not heard "and the meek shall inherit the earth"?

  Nellie Boswell : Oh, yes, Father. But he doesn't want the Earth. He just wants money.

• Nellie Boswell : I hope the judge doesn't misread all that leather, Joey. He might think you're a Hell's Angel.

• Nellie Boswell : [on having grandchildren]  After all, the child might be the only extra Boswell we'll get. Our Jack is too disillusioned, our Joey is too wise, our Adrian is too depressed and Aveline doesn't want to spoil her body. You're the only one thick enough to wade in there.
